Just wanted to say that I had no idea the name "solid" was controversial after watching the July dagster community video meeting. I was ok with "solid". When I first used dagster, I thought of "solid" from the phrase: "You done me a solid" or "do me a solid". Citation here. So I actually thought that is where the word solid came from 🙂

2¢: I'm also a fan of "solid" as a name; it's a nice balance of abstract, contextually disconnected from the word's original meaning, and familiar which I think is what you want for a name for a new abstract concept. It reminds me of "bolts" from apache storm, but I think solid is a much better name. New names are great though - I'm sure a lot of thought went into them! I'm a fan of the "graph" changes (and name) - they seem really ergonomic.
